Apexver: Software Engineer, C++ (Middle)

Headquarters: Cayman

URL: http://apexver.com

Role Overview

As a Middle (Mid-level) Software Engineer, you will join our core engineering team and contribute to building and maintaining mission-critical trading infrastructure. You’ll work closely with senior engineers, quants, and traders to bring features from design through production, with an eye for performance, correctness, and robustness.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement, test, and maintain C++ components used in trading systems: execution engines, market data handlers, order routers, risk modules.

• Work with multi-threaded, high-throughput, low-latency code; optimize hotspots and reduce bottlenecks.

• Collaborate closely with quantitative researchers and traders: understanding requirements, prototyping ideas, translating concepts into code.

• Ensure high reliability and availability: writing unit/integration tests, monitoring, debugging, and fixing production issues.

• Participate in code reviews, contribute to engineering best practices, and help improve overall code quality (e.g. profiling, benchmarking).

• Keep abreast of modern C++ standards (C++17/20+), new libraries, and architecture patterns; suggest improvements to existing systems.

Qualifications

Required:

• ~ 3–5 years of professional experience in C++ software development.

• Strong grasp of modern C++ (C++14/17/20), including STL, templates, and idiomatic usage.

• Solid understanding of concurrency, threading, synchronization, and shared-memory / lock-free designs.

• Experience with network programming (TCP/UDP), working with sockets or messaging systems.

• Familiarity with performance profiling, memory usage, latency measurement.

• Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, ability to debug complex systems.

• Good communication skills; ability to work in teams, collaborate and communicate across technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to Have:

• Prior experience in finance / trading / HFT / market data systems.

• Experience with algorithmic trading concepts, order books, matching engines.

• Exposure to Linux internals, kernel tuning, OS performance.

• Other languages/tools: Python, scripting, build systems (CMake etc.), tools for CI/CD.

• Knowledge of FPGA / kernel-bypass / RDMA etc. (if applicable to your infrastructure).

What You’ll Gain

• Work on systems where microseconds matter: real-world impact of performance optimizations.

• Close collaboration with traders / quant researchers; opportunities to influence product and strategy.

• Opportunities for mentorship, skill development, exposure to advanced topics (networking, OS, latency).

• Competitive compensation, benefits, and perks aligned with industry standards.

• A work culture that values innovation, autonomy, and learning.
